Chiks told Li Du a lot about the traditions of the Hazai people.

He said that the history of their nation has no written narrative and is entirely passed on by word of mouth.

But in the vast grasslands, they are not lonely. Iraku, Datuga, Isansu, Sukuma, Ilanba, Marseille, etc. Since ancient times, they have communicated with many ethnic groups and lived together.

Each indigenous peoples has their own language, and they share a common second language, that is Swahili, making communication possible.

The tribes have their own territories. The Hazai people exchanged their prey for metal arrows made by the Datuga people, exchanged for tents made by the Isansu people with animal skins, and exchanged for the Sukuma girls.

In many places on the African continent, polygamy is common, and at least 10 cows can be exchanged for a wife.

In this regard, the Hazai people are closer to modern society, and almost all of their ethnic groups are monogamous.

Li Du said: "It's amazing. Obviously, you respect women more."

Chiks smiled and said, "No, it's because my tribesmen are not good at accumulating wealth. If they lack wealth accumulation, they can't exchange their extra wives."

Chiks, who was highly educated, was very honest. He told Li Du that Hazai people did not maintain a high degree of loyalty to marriage. Although they would not have multiple wives at the same time, they would constantly change partners.

However, Hazai's women are very tough. They verbally accept polygamy. But if the husband dares to have an affair, they will be furious, fight with the husband, take the children into other families, and use various means to deal with the husband.

Sophie came here later, and Hazayi was even happier. A young man gave Sophie a straw-woven headband with some bright bird feathers on it, which was very beautiful.

Sophie accepted with a smile, Chicks told Li Du: "This child loves your wife."

Li Du said: "That means that his aesthetic vision is very good."

Chiks was stunned and then burst into laughter.

He liked Li Du's open-mindedness and kindness very much, so after breakfast, when the tribe hunters were going to hunt, Chiks warmly invited Li Du to participate.

Li Du thought about it and communicated with the lion hunter. He said that he was going to experience the hunting life of the Hazayi people and asked if the lion hunter was interested.

The lion hunter said, "They only know how to hunt mice and birds. What's the point? Today I'm going to hunt lions. Are you sure you won't be with me?"

Li Du had no interest in hunting beasts. The Aao and Ah Miao he raised were beasts, and the behavior of hunting beasts would make them feel uneasy.

In this way, the two sides were temporarily separated, and he and Sophie joined the Hazai hunting team.

Hazai people generally do not accept women entering the tribe, but because Sophie gave the children a lot of chocolates, milk candies and other snacks, and her temperament is very elegant, she is welcomed by the tribe.

Because different tribes have different appreciations of beauty, Sophie with a delicate face is not a beauty in the eyes of the Hazai people. In their opinion, tall and obese women are more attractive, and their fat body points to greater fertility possibilities and also indicates healthier.

Hazai people may think that Sophie is not beautiful, but their temperament is understandable. This kind of beauty can hit people's souls, so people still like her very much.

The Great Ivan brought wine to the Hazai people, who thought these indigenous blacks would like this strong drink, but was boycotted.

The Hazayi people are not good at drinking wine. They will get drunk when they drink the fruit wine they make. These people have no self-control and will cause trouble once they get drunk.

Therefore, most Hazai tribes have regulations that they are not allowed to accept outside wine.

But people were very interested in the iron wine pot brought by Da Ivan, and they poured out the wine inside to fill fresh water.

The Great Ivan was so painful: "For God's sake, don't throw it away, that's the vodka I finally brought out from Ukraine!"

After the sun rose, the hunters were ready to set off.

They tame dogs, but they did not take them to hunt, but instead visited the camp.

More than twenty hunters formed a team. They walked briskly on the grass, gathered together in groups of three or three to chat, with smiles on their faces, living a relaxed and happy life.

After walking for a while, the hunter in front suddenly stopped and shouted excitedly: "Xi Xizha!"

The hunters ran over, bent over and used the javelin to push away the weeds, and carefully searched for something on the ground.

Chicks turned around and explained: "They found the prairie wild rats."

Li Du asked, "This is food too?"

Chicks said with a smile: "Of course, this is a good food. Grassland rats eat grass seeds and fruits to survive, and they are not dirty. And they have no attack power. How can we not like it?"

People found several caves in the pile of weeds, then found some hay, lifted their leather skirts and pissed up.

Sophie turned her head embarrassedly, and Chix apologized to her, saying that Hazai's hunters lack etiquette in this regard.

The hay became wet, they stuffed it into the hole and lit it with a lighter I carried with you.

Soon, some smoke filled the air.

The hunters blew smoke into the holes hard, and some of them had smoked wild rats. The hunters guarded the holes and waited for the rats to come out to catch one by one.

When Li Du saw the lighter they used, he asked, "Actually, you don't mind accepting the culture of the outside world and changing some traditions, right?"

Chix nodded and said, "Yes, there is no problem with minor changes."

Li Du felt that they were contradictory. On the one hand, they maintained the tribal traditions, and on the other hand, they accepted changes.

Chix saw his doubts and explained them to him.

In fact, Hazabi people have countless opportunities to say goodbye to their safari life.

In Tanzania, the government tried many times to help or force the Hazai people to move out of their hometowns and live a settlement life, but these efforts eventually failed and simply failed.

For example, in 1965, the Tanzanian government, which had not yet been independent, forced the Hazai people to settle down with live ammunition police and equipped them with schools and hospitals.

Tragically, just a few weeks later, many Hazai people began to get sick, and many died. The following year, most Hazai people left their settlements and returned to their safari life.

From the 1970s to the 1990s, the local government has been working tirelessly to settle the Hazabi people. However, all efforts have finally come to the sea.

Today, the former settlements still have a very small number of Hazai people living in, waiting for free food from the government, while the vast majority still return to their traditional safari life.

They chatted, and the grassland rats here were cleaned up.

The hunters tied the wild rats together with ropes, hung them on their waists or on their shoulders, and smiled even more and looked very happy.

Looking at this scene, Chix smiled and said, "Our tribe members have a natural habit of hunting. As long as they can harvest prey, they will be happy."

"The two things that people are most difficult to obtain in the twenty-first century are health and happiness. Look, my tribes are happy because of their health, so why do we change such a life?"
